Definitions are sorted by export status, category, package, and then by lexicographic order.
The default probably used in calls to flip (and therefore in calls to binomial and geometric).
This variable takes the place of CL’s *random-state*. It can be supplied as a generator to all the functions in the variates package.
Flip a coin (using flip) ‘n‘ times with probability ‘p‘ and return the number of heads.
Return a single element from the exponential distribution.
Flip a pseudo-random coin and return true if it comes up heads. The default probably of heads for the coin is *probability-of-heads*.
Returns a sample from the geometric distribution with probability ‘p‘. I.e., it returns the number of flips it takes until a possibly biased coin (using flip) comes up heads.
Returns a integer pseudo random number between low (inclusive) and high (inclusive).
Return a new random number generator of class ‘class’ using ‘seed’ as the initial seed.
Returns a normally distributed double-float pseudo random number with using ’mean’ and ’standard-deviation’.
Simple standin for Common Lisp random function. [[?? remove, just type more]]
Returns T with probability given. Defaults to 0.5d0.
Returns a element selected from sequence uniformly at random. Start and end can be supplied to select an element from a subsequence of sequence.
Returns a pseudo random number between low (inclusive) and high (exclusive or inclusive depending are arguments). If low and high are both integers (fixnums or bignums) this will return an integer, otherwise it will return a double-float.
Returns a pseudo random number between low and high (both inclusive). If low and high are both integers (fixnums or bignums) this will return an integer, otherwise it will return a double-float.
Returns a sub-sequence of ‘seq‘ with probability ‘pr‘ that each element of ‘seq‘ will be included. If a key function is supplied, then it is applied to each included element. [[?? Remove, use select-sample and/or sample-elements instead.]]
Returns a bit vector of size total-size with exactly sample-size
bits set to 1. The one bits are selected uniformly at random. The algorithm
is attributed to Robert Floyd by Jon Bentley in More Programming Pearls.
Returns a double-float pseudo random number between low (inclusive) and high (exclusive).
Returns the next pseudo random number from a random number generator (using the generator as output stream metaphor).

Returns the original random seed of the generator.

Sets the random seed of the generator. Two random generators with of the same class with the same seed will return the same sequence of random numbers.

From Numerical Recipes in C:

1.0 (exclusive of the endpoint values). It has a period of 2^31 - 1

Mixing this class into another class will make it appear to be a random number generator. The new class can be used as a generator in the various random number routines, has a random seed and so on. The mixin also provides two initargs: random-seed and random-number-generator-class. The former is self-explanitory. The latter specifies which random number generator class to use.

From Numerical Recipes in C:
This is a quick and dirty generator which ’is about as good as any 32-bit linear congruential generator. It is only about 1.7 times faster than ran1 because of the extra divide we need. It also conses about 1.7 times less. I believe it has the same period as ran1.

Gets a single value sampled from the normal distribution with mean ‘mean’ and standard devation ‘standard-deviation.’ This uses the algorithm from Numerical Recipes in C.
